Diagnosis was by MRI brain scan followed by a biopsy of the basal gaglia.The MRI was the result of how she presented in the first instance.She was having problems with vision,her hand writing had become very small and her memory impaired.She also tumbled downstairs at a friends home for no apparent reason or explanation which needed a visit to the neurologist.The small handwriting triggered the neurologist to obtain the MRI scan.

She did begin with some very dramatic symptoms. That must have been very frightening for her.
If you care to share more about her vision problems, did it involve double vision or something else?
